I am getting a offer of a home loan from Santander. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Kingston Park. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My flat in Kingston Park is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my property lawyer need to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
I am assisting my mother sell her property in Kingston Park. Does the solicitor order an energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a mandatory component of selling a property. An EPC should be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Kingston Park conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local assessors
I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Kingston Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Intending to buy a apartment in Kingston Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Kingston Park lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
